In collaboration with Pitchford Entertainment, Media and Magic, we proudly present an extremely rare edition of the Peau Doux brand playing cards. Found tucked away in Cardini's private collection, the unique back-design illustrates a deer galloping through the forest with a color palette from another era. The name Peau Doux comes from a line of products produced by Walgreens in Chicago in the early 1900s. This deck is a modern poker-sized replica of the original. Special features include a vintage-inspired tuck box, letterpress-printed with gold metallic ink, and embossed typography. Custom tax stamp, ace of spades, and matching jokers depicting a silhouette of Cardini illustrated by Wade J. Callender. Limited Edition of 2,500. Printed by the United States Playing Card Company on our proprietary thin stock.

Sofia Y. ★★★★★

The card stock has a satisfying snap to it that makes shuffling feel effortless right out of the box. Knowing these came from a magician's private collection makes them feel like a genuine piece of history rather than just another deck.

Eva R. ★★★★★

The deer back design is stunning in person, way more detailed than I expected from the photos. Cards shuffle smoothly right out of the box and have that nice snap I look for in a quality deck. Been playing cribbage with these every night this week.

Eli ★★★★★

The vintage back design and the way these cards fan out of the box make it feel like handling something from a magic shop decades ago. I've been using them for late-night poker with friends and they hold up beautifully. Genuinely the nicest deck I've owned.
